Will Big Al the Good end up with Katy, the dissatisfied girlfriend of Big Al the Bad? Perhaps, and between the setup and the payoff there are plenty of laughs and a few implausible coincidences. Laurence Shames's seventh Key West adventure is a good read for a day at the beach or an afternoon in the hammock for mystery fans who can't wait for the next Carl Hiaasen. --Jane Adams
Mangrove Squeeze
"Like [Elmore] Leonard, Shames mixes comedy and crime expertly. . . . A delightfully offbeat crime comedy, Florida style." --Bill Ott, Booklist
"Critics have compared [Shames] to the great crime absurdist Carl Hiaasen, but he's not only treading on the master's heels; in plot, invention, and sheer vigour he's overtaken him."
--Literary Review (London)
Virgin Heat
"Nearly impossible to put down. Its Key West setting and laugh-out-loud wit recall the best of Carl Hiaasen. Its quirky characters and tough-mindedness are like Elmore Leonard's."
--Les Roberts, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"[T]his slapstick caper, a gravity-defying structure of impossible coincidences, has been built for fun. . . . And even his zaniest characters have a dark core that gives them dimension in this sun-bleached land of forgetting." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
Tropical Depression
"Like Charles Willeford, Elmore Leonard, and Carl Hiaasen, Laurence Shames is a specialist in tales of low-and-high jinks in humid places." --Bill Wallace, San Francisco Chronicle
Sunburn
"From the first page to the last, Sunburn charms." --Felicia Gressette, The Miami Herald
Scavenger Reef
"[A] mix of hilarity and menace saturated with a physical sense of Key West . . . Superior entertainment." --Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
Florida Straits
"Mr. Shames turns out characters flashier than a Key West sunset and dialogue tastier than a conch stew." --The New York Times Book Review
